Description

A good fluorite is from Dalnegorsk.

It's a 55 mm high specimen glued on a plate of acryl-glass (this can be removed easily).

It consists of clear fluorite (up to 2 cm) with some quartz-crystals (max. 2 cm long).

The front is allright, the back-side was grown on a rock, so the crystals are not completely crystallized.
